Gorch Fock (1933) and its collection

Gorch Fock (1933)
Source

The Gorch Fock, also known as the Russian Tovarichtchi between 1949 and 2003, is a historical three-masted barque. It was constructed in 1933 by the renowned Blohm & Voss shipyards in Hamburg. This ship is a significant part of maritime history and offers a unique insight into the naval architecture of the early 20th century.

Gorch Fock as a Training Ship

The Gorch Fock was not just a regular ship, but it served as a training vessel until 1939. It was specifically designed to be robust and safe against capsizing, with over 300 tons of ballast steel in the keel to ensure it could right itself even if it tilted close to 90 degrees. This feature makes the ship a fascinating example of naval engineering.

Gorch Fock as a Museum Ship

On November 29, 2003, the ship regained its original name, Gorch Fock, and has since been transformed into a museum ship. Visitors can now explore this historical vessel, learning about its rich history and the various roles it played throughout the 20th century.
